Furthermore, it was not just any death. Treason was often marked by the cruelest executions imaginable. The king’s grip

Unfortunately, blasphemy was a common crime because it could occur in a moment via a minor slip of the tongue. In the wrong company or in the presence of someone with an agenda, an unkind word towards a local priest or bishop could be spun into heresy or blasphemy with dire consequences. It was often used against someone’s enemy as an easy way to cause them grief. It was difficult to try and prove or disprove what someone had actually said or not.

Despite what we think today, much of the land in Medieval times was owned and administrated by local lords and high kings. While many people like to imagine a wildland free from jurisdiction and ownership, that is far from the case. Feudal lords, bishops, and kings owned hundreds of thousands of acres and everything on those lands was considered property of the owner.

ertainment, I am fairly basic, in the sense that I play no games whatsoever, so it’s just audio and video that I care about. Most of that is delivered via native Apple apps such as Apple Music, Apple TV. The one additional application I occasionally rely on is Plex Media Player, which installed fine and seems to work as expected — except for its mouse and scroll support which is flaky. It feels like the Apple TV app.,

King Magnus Eriksson of Sweden put in special laws protecting farmers from thieves due to their high risk to become victims. Those laws remained on the books until the 18th century.

Despite the strong deterrence to poaching, many people got away with it due to the simple fact that it was extremely hard to get caught in the act by the king’s men. However, if you were caught, it was likely that you would be made an example of to try and deter others from doing the same.

,

This meant that common people, peasants, and wanderers could not hunt or gather from lands owned by the king without permission or without paying a special fee granting them access. Breaching these agreements by hunting or wrangling animals off of lands from which you did not have permission was considered poaching. Nearly all Medieval officials took poaching extremely seriously and the punishment for doing so was often death.

,

“[If] we compare murder and blasphemy as regards the objects of those sins, it is clear that blasphemy, which is a sin committed directly against God, is more grave than murder, which is a sin against one’s neighbor. On the other hand, if we compare them in respect of the harm wrought by them, murder is the graver sin, for murder does more harm to one’s neighbor, than blasphemy does to God.”

,

If this seems severe it’s because it was, that is because in order to protect the integrity of vast stretches of land without the manpower to continuously patrol and guard them the punishment had to be harsh enough to deter the thousands of peasants from sneaking onto royal lands for their own gain.

,

Poaching could also extend to picking from the king’s royal orchards, cutting down trees that were owned by an estate that was not your own, or gathering raw materials from the land. Any of these could be considered poaching from royal lands.

,

Lastly, we have treason. Treason was a very common crime that was administered by the king himself. The Middle Ages was a turbulent time that was marked by social change, wars, revolutions, rebellions, religious changes, and other unrest. Many times, at the end of one of these events, the losing side was charged with treason and sentenced to death. Sometimes this would be a single prominent leader and other times it would be scores of people. In nearly every case, being found guilty of treason meant death.

,

The middle point between fines and execution or maiming was public flogging. Some thieves would be brought before the community from which they stole and were ordered to endure a certain number of public lashes. In many cases, the goods would be returned and the town would watch the flogging as penance.

,

Other punishments included stoning, as according to the Old Testament, and hangings. In fact, the last hanging for blasphemy in England actually occurred in 1697 when a young man was hanged for denying the truth of Christ’s miracles and the integrity of the Old Testament.

,

The Catholic church dominated Medieval Europe, many jurisdictions had religious laws on top of standard laws aimed at maintaining order. One of the most severe of these religious rules regarded blasphemy. Speaking ill of the church, refusing to acknowledge God or the church as supreme, or offering differing ideas than those of the church could all be considered blasphemy.

,

The punishment for poaching was not always death but for those who were not executed, they were often maimed. They would often lose a hand to signify stealing from the king and also to make it harder to hunt or wrangle in the future.

,

Blasphemy was a severe crime which warranted an equally severe punishment. Many times, blasphemers would be punished with the removal of their tongues. Someone who was found guilty of this egregious offense would be bound and have their tongue removed with hot tongs or pliers leaving them unable to speak for the remainder of their life.
